Royal College of Psychiatrists
Anxiety is a feeling we all get in a situation that is threatening or difficult. The anxiety stops when you get used to the situation, when the situation changes, or if you just leave. But if you feel anxious all the time, or for no obvious reason, it can make life difficult. This leaflet deals with three particular kinds of anxiety: general anxiety disorder, panic attacks and phobias. We hope it will be helpful for anyone who finds their anxiety is a problem, but also for any friends and relatives who want to understand more about it.
The Mental Health Foundation
We believe it is important to involve the people who use mental health services and their carers in our work. We want to support them to have their say on the way that services are run, as well as to use their experiences to inform our thinking.
